Hi! I used to have a paid personal Dropbox account, until I outgrew the 3TB of storage space. I downgraded to a free Dropbox account and started storing my files with a different provider. As a renewal of my subscription with this other provider is coming up mid-June, I was wondering if you are planning on implementing larger personal plans in the future? Ideally I'd love a package that has somewhere between 6 to 8TB.
Switching to a professional account is not an option, because:
- I already use a professional account from the company I work for, you can only use 1 personal and 1 professional account in the Dropbox software at the same time, and I don't want to upload my personal files to my company's account
- a professional account requires several licenses (3, I believe), while I only need 1
Therefore, I would like to suggest to implement the option to purchase a larger personal plan with more storage space than the current 3TB (of course the plan with 3TB should still exist for users who don't need more than 3TB).

As a single user of Dropbox Professional, I have recently found myself hitting the limits in terms of storage (3TB) and shared link bandwidth (400GB per day) as I'm running out of room for all my files, and finding that clients with whom I share links are downloading too many files, causing my account to be blocked.
I would be very happy to upgrade my Dropbox Professional and pay for more storage / bandwidth, but no option for that exists. Equally, I'd be pleased to upgrade to a Dropbox Business account - but there is no existing option for a single user (I'm a consultant / one-man business, I don't have team members).
I'd like to think that a technical solution for this must be straightforward, and while I appreciate that I may represent a niche of users, I can't be alone on this one. In my work, greater flexibility / options means greater customer satisfaction - and Dropbox could improve my user experience satisfaction by helping me to upgrade to the level of service my business requires.
Thanks and fingers crossed for a solution soon!

I would very much like to receive individual plans similar to those for business. I need to increase the space by more than 3 terabytes. They showed me the Standard tariff. But this turns out to be very unprofitable. I pay $ 19 for 3 terabytes. And at that rate, I have to pay $ 45 for 5 terabytes or $ 75 for the advanced plan with unlimited.
All these are business tariffs for a minimum of 3 users. But it is very unprofitable for one user to take such tariffs.
3 terabytes is not enough for those who are engaged in video and photo 😞
Sorry if my english is bad!

3 TB used to be a lot, but things have moved on, why hasn't Dropbox (in this area)? The ability to add more space would literally transform this into an amazing product again for me, forward thinking and for the users like the old days. Please make Dropbox a bit bigger for personal use - as a customer who's been with you since the start I try to appreciate all the work that the team puts in, this would be the biggest possible improvement I think! Best wishes.

I'm now at 2.7T with a 3T account. It isn't obvious that I can move to 5TB or 10TB without changing to an account with features (and I assume price increase) that I don't really want. The pricing needs to be more flexible. One type of account should have a base fee and then a fee per TB / month much like Amazon, BackBlaze, etc.
I've now purchased a 20TB NAS, a cloud backup from one of your competitors, and plan to move off of Dropbox in two months. A lot of the reason is uncertainty. This is my life's data and I just have no confidence that Dropbox will grow and accommodate my needs as I grow and expand. Other competitors offer a much more transparent pricing model.

I don't want to switch out of dropbox
I am a single user and about to max out the 3TB i pay for.
I CANNOT buy more space.
Now i have to either switch to onedrive, or pay for 3 users of dropbox advanced. totaling 6x the price.
I want to pay for Dropbox advanced SINGLE user.

I'm a solo business owner. I would love the option for the larger storage cap, but don't need multiple licenses.

To repeat what I said... I didn't suggest lowering prices, etc. I simply suggested that the pricing structure be made more clear such that I know that I can get a 10T account for example and how much it would be. My suggestion, I suppose, would be to make the features more à la carte.

I'm a video editor with >5TB of raw footage that I'd like to backup on a cloud, preferably Dropbox. However, the only way to get a Business Unlimited account is to pay ~$1000 CAD for 3 licenses of the account, plus more if you go over 5TB. I would go for this option if I didn't have to pay for 2 Licenses I didn't need. Now instead, I'm building out a NAS that can handle the volume, and although its in the long run cheaper I'd still love to use DB for my needs but there doesn't seem to be an adequate plan.

When will Dropbox gives us more storage? I'm ready to pay a lot more, I need something like 30TB.
I've looked at Dropbox competitors who might offer more space but are not as good, fast and simple as Dropbox.
So I'd like to stay with Dropbox and pay a lot more for a lot more storage (even if I need to pay 100+ a month).
Because I'm planning on upgrading to a Macbook Pro with a maxed out 8TB hard drive on it + I'd like to able to upload a couple of Carbon Copy Cleaner snapshot backups on the cloud as well , so that's a minimum of 16-24TB to keep my mind in peace and have all my data safely synced there on Dropbox. So overall 30TB would be ideal to include some extra remote storage space just in case.

Hello
I would suggest to Dropbox to have an other proposal for photographer that work without team.
To have an access to 16To storage for them files.
It would be great!
But, I think I am gonna buy a NAS anyway... Actually I was looking for to use dropbox, the proposal doesn't help me...
